First time tengok movie nie, I went to the cinema with my best friend, Sabrina. Almost everyone watching this movie cried, especially masa part Holly called Gerry's phone number, just to hear his voice (voice mail). Sabrina told me she did the same thing when she lost her brother, the only younger bro for her. Well, banyak lagi parts yang boleh menyebabkan penonton menitiskan air mata. So, I would recommend everyone to watch this movie. I managed to make my hubby watched this movie too (mana dia layan romance movies, sebab tue masa nak tengok movie nie kat cinema dia bagi I pergi dengan Sabrina)....
Plot summary
Set in Ireland, Holly Kennedy is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life - a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry. So when Gerry's life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry, so it's a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of 10 letters that will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering herself. The messages are Gerry's way of informing Holly life goes on. The messages include various tasks and treats Gerry has left for Holly. This is his way of letting her know he will always be there for her. Each letter sends her on a new adventure and each signs off in the same way: "P.S. I Love You." Holly's mother and best friends, Sharon and Denise, begin to worry that Gerry's letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but, in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future. With Gerry's words as her guide, Holly embarks on a journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into new beginning for life.

Differences Between Novel & Film Adaptation
The most major difference between the novel and its film adaptation is that in the novel, main characters Holly and Gerry Kennedy are both Irish, while in the film, only Gerry is Irish and the two live in New York. Also in the novel, Holly has numerous siblings, but in the film she has one. In the film, Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays William, a character who does not exist in the book. However, the film remains fairly true to the novel, and all of Gerry's letters are virtually unchanged.
